This book is just so lovely, so sad, so touching and so funny that I can't believe it took me so long to get round to reading it. I have never cried so much at a book - nor laughed so much. It's the touching tale of a grumpy miserable man who can't understand modern technology and doesn't want to. He's rude to everyone, intolerant and awful but the book takes the reader along on a journey with Ove that little by little shows us who he is, why he is the way he is and what he becomes.
